It has been a few weeks since I have posted. I am trying to decide if it is a good idea to keep this blog. There are a lot more things that I should be focused on. Plus with school starting for both me and Jackson it will be a busy time. Today we have eaten big homemade waffles, went to church, and now we are in the process of putting together bunk beds and turning one of the boys bedrooms into a play room. I am doing this right now because Marc is cleaning the carpet and there is not much for me to do.
Today at church Pastor Brice did a sermon on getting our priorities straight. It was a really good sermon. One I needed to hear because right now is the time when I think that I am getting really busy with obligations. In truth though it is just me busying myself. If I really take a close look at what I am doing (which I plan to do) then I think I will find that I am just filling my time with "stuff". I think that sometimes I can be a little scared to slow down, be still, and look with in myself. He said to simplify and the way to do that is to say "No". Wouldn't you know that a half hour later one of the women from the women's group at church says there is a planning meeting Tuesday, why don't I come. I want to be involved but that would put me two nights out of the house in the evening for meetings. Plus Jackson's school's open house is on Thursday. Plus for some reason it seems like first graders have an enormous amount of homework each night. Then there is the time I need to spend with Marc and with myself. I think what it all boils down to is what would be pleasing to the Lord. Brice gave some ideas at the end of the sermon on how to start to prioritize, hopefully I can do this and Marc and I can do this as a couple.
Well, this wasn't a very insightful post but it was a post. I am not sure when I will post again. Peace.
